Creating a new tab and adding icons

Hi - I have created a new tab in MS Project for myself and added an icon for a macro. Can I change the icon for the macro and if so how do I do that?

RE: Creating a new tab and adding icons

Hello Emma,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Project Intro Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding changing an icon on your own tab. Yes this be done and here is how:

Click File then Options then click Customise ribbon. Select your macro button on the right side where you have recently placed it and click the Rename button at the bottom. You are now presented with a number of different icons which you may choose for your macro button.

Give this a try!

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
